第三节：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to stop at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don't worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.

   Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn't really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King's famous speech---"I have a Dream", you may notice that he stumbles(结巴) over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don't remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.

   People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer. They are looking for a well-though-out speech that expresses the speaker's ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker's attractiveness by making him more human.

As you work on your speech, don't worry about being perfect. Once you free you mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.

56. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. How to Be a Perfect Speaker         B. How to Make a Perfect Speech

C. Don't Expect a Perfect Speech        D. Don't Expect Mistakes in a Speech

57. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will ______.

A. be smarter than you                B. notice your mistakes

C. do better than you                 D. know what you are talking about

58. You don't remember obvious mistakes in a speech because ______.

A. your attention is on the speaker’s message     

B. you don't know what the speaker plans to say

C. you don't fully understand the speech         

D. you find the way of speech-making more important

59. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. giving a speech is like giving a performance  

B. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad

C. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made

D. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be.

    By far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along, doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.

    Few students work to a set timetable. They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it, or would have to change it frequently, since they can never predict (foresee) from one day to the next what their activities will be.

    No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others. There are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable, and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work . Many able students state that they work in cycles. When they become interested in a topic they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time. On other days they avoid work completely. It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation to work. Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine, and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work. The “tough-minded” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally, under the influence of inspiration.

    Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom”. Freedom from control and discipline  leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development”. Our society insists on regular habits, timekeeping and punctuality(准时), and whether we like it or not, if we mean to make our way in society, we have to meet its demands.

63．The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is ________.

    A. changing from one subject to another

B. working on a subject only when one feels like it

C. the unwillingness to follow a systematic plan

D. the failure to keep to a set timetable of work

64．Which of the following is true ?

    A. Many students are not interested in using a self-controlled timetable.

B. Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.

C. Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.

D. Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed timetable.

65．The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph 4 means ________.

    A. when they have the energy                                     B. when they find conditions suitable

    C. when they feel fit                                                        D. when they are in the mood

66．A suitable title for the passage might be ________.

    A. Attitudes to Study                                                      B. Study and Self-discipline

    C. The Difficulties of Studying                             D. A study Plan

    TOKYO—A child-like robot that combines the roles of nurse, companion and security guard is to go on the market to help the growing ranks of elderly Japanese with no one to look after them.

    The “Wakamaru” robot can walk around a house 24 hours a day, warning family, hospitals and security firms if it perceives (notices) a problem. It will, for example, call relatives if the owner fails to get out of the bath.

    Cameras implanted in the “eye-brows” of the robot enable it to “see” as it walks around an apartment. The images can be sent to the latest cellphones, which display the pictures.

    Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which developed Wakamaru, plans to start selling the metre-high robots by April, 2005, for about ＄15,000 Cdn.

    Wakamaru, which speaks with either the voice of a boy or girl, is also designed to provide companionship, greeting its “papa” when he comes home.

    It is the first household robot able to hold simple conversations, based on a vocabulary of around 10,000 words. It cannot only speak but can understand answers and react accordingly.

    It will ask “Are you all right ?” if its owner does not move for some time. If the answer is no, or there is no answer, it will telephone preset numbers, transmitting images and functioning as a speakerphone.

    Wakamaru will inform a security firm if there is a loud bang or if an unknown person enters the house while the owner is out or asleep. It can recognize up to 10 faces.

    But like most robots it cannot climb stairs.

    It can be set to remind forgetful people when it is time to take medicine, eat and sleep.

    Mitsubishi adapted Wakamaru from robots it already makes to go around nuclear power facilities. The idea to use the technology in the home came from a company employee.

    The project chief said :“Looking at the ageing of society and the falling birth rate we decide that this could work as a business. We want to offer Wakamaru as a product that helps society.”

    The technology has gained nation-wide publicity in Japan among increasing concern over how to look after the ever-growing number of old people. The life expectancy of Japanese women has shot up to almost 85, the highest in the world.

    At the same time, extended families are being replaced by nuclear families. This has left many Japanese anxious about their elderly parents, whom they rarely see because of their long hours at the office.

55.which of the following is true about the Robot？

A.it is used in some nuclear power facilities

B. it cannot speak but can understand answers。

C.it can go up and down the stairs easily

D．it can recognize asmany as 10 faces

56.the purpose of this passage is ________

A.to introduce a new product

B. to solve the ageing problems

C.to tell people how to use the robot

D．to show the rapid development of technology 

57.what can we infer from the passage？

A. The robot can dial proper numbers for help.

    B. The robot is likely to have a promising market.

    C. The robot has given the Japanese a chance to live longer.

    D. The nuclear families have left many elderly Japanese anxious.

58．What is the best title of this passage ?

    A. The Latest Development of Robot Technology

    B. Japanese Robot and the Ageing Society

    C. Vast Market of the New Robot

    D. Japanese-built Robot to Help the Old
